>>> JP Morgan predicted that the final tally of declared hidden assets from Tax Amnesty program by march 2017 will be around IDR2000 Trillion. Turn out that before September 2016 ends, declared hidden assets already exeed the IDR2000 Trillion milestone. I think It's not overly optimistic for me to say that this program could breaks the IDR4000 Trillion (USD300 Billion) mark by the end of march 2017.
Indonesia: Tax Amnesty A Huge Success; JP Morgan Sees Tax Cut
Indonesia’s latest tax amnesty program is turning out to be one of the world’s most successful repatriation programs.
Already, Indonesians have declared 1,029 trillion rupiahs ($76 billion) of hidden assets, with 69% in domestic assets, 25% in foreign assets not repatriated and 5% in foreign assets repatriated back. A total of 90,000 people have participated in the program.
The overall response is already well above earlier market expectations of $30-50 billion in declared assets. JP Morgan now thinks the final tally by next March could double to 2,000 trillion rupiahs, creating fiscal income to the tune of 0.3-0.5% of total GDP.
“We do not rule out a reduction in the nominal tax rate, if the government judges the amnesty as successful,” notes analyst Aditya Srinath, adding:
After the last tax amnesty in 2008 (which yielded revenues of Rp7.5trn) the then (and current) Finance Minister Sri Mulyani cut personal tax rates by 5% to 30%. Corporate tax rates were also cut over two years from 30% to 25%. In response in 2009, the revenue from personal income taxes grew by 13% y/y, and accelerated further in the next two years. Corporate tax revenues were more volatile, which we attribute to the larger impact of commodities.
Indonesia is in a boom. The iShares MSCI Indonesia ETF (EIDO) has soared 28% this year, mostly from stock gains. The rupiah rose 5%.

Exports expected to jump by 500% within 10 to 15 years

The Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) expects exports to amount to US$750 billion in the next 10 to 15 years, up by 500 percent from the country’s export target set at $150 billion by the end of 2016.
Kadin's deputy chairman for trade Benny Soestrisno said achieving this target would require commitment and cooperation among all parties related to export development, including the government, lawmakers and businesspeople.
"To streamline the implementation of strategic steps in Indonesia’s export development, joint action between the government and the country’s businesspeople in developing national exports needs to be prepared," Benny said during a national trade conference themed "Trade and Export For All" in Jakarta on Tuesday.
To that end, he further said, Kadin had proposed a road map comprising five main pillars to boost exports in Indonesia. This included an increase in the number of exporters, export product diversification, export market expansion, export price increases and the development of an export ecosystem.
Benny admitted, however, that exporters had suffered a decline in the last five years due to a lack of competitiveness and financial capacity, along with the sluggish global economic condition.
"We need to increase our number of exporters, encourage existing companies and potential entrepreneurs to carry out export activities," he went on.
Benny further said the government should also provide incentives for businesspeople who wanted to export their products. "We need a program to motivate and increase the capacity of businesspeople to export," he said. (ebf)

Indonesia’s largest wind farm project propels green transition
The 60MW South Sulawesi wind farm project is seen as a key step towards helping the country achieve its ambitious target to increase renewable energy generation to 23 per cent by 2025.

Tuesday 27 September 2016
Indonesia’s national energy company, PT. PLN, has signed a deal with an international group of investors led by Singapore-headquartered energy and infrastructure specialist Equis to build the country’s first large-scale renewable energy project.
Signed on September 19 in Copenhagen, the 60MW capacity South Sulawesi wind farm will be Indonesia’s largest wind farm yet and is seen to help achieve the country’s ambitious goal of adding 35,000MW of additional energy to its current supply, with 23 per cent coming from renewable sources, by 2025.
Rini Soemarno, Indonesia’s minister for State-Owned Enterprises, and Lars Christian Lilleholt, Danish minister for Energy, Utilities and Climate, witnessed the signing ceremony. Danish company Vestas Wind Systems, the world’s largest producer of wind turbines, also signed a conditional agreement to provide the wind turbines for the project.
We are confident this project can help pave the way for additional wind power investments in Indonesia.
- Anders Runevad, CEO, Vestas
The start of construction and commissioning dates for the wind farm project have yet to be announced, but a news site said the wind farm project comprising 21 wind turbines is expected to be completed by 2017.
Green energy proponents and investors are viewing the South Sulawesi project as an impetus for Indonesia, the fifth biggest CO2 emitter in the world, to transition to green energy.
The country signed the Paris Agreement at COP21 last year where it announced a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 29 per cent by 2030. Indonesia has yet to ratify the Agreement.
Casper Klynge, Danish ambassador to Indonesia, said: “I am proud that Denmark and Danish companies can assist Indonesia by providing state-of-the-art green energy solutions to support the government’s objective.”
Vestas CEO Anders Runevad said Indonesia’s wind energy has great long-term potential. “We are confident this project can help pave the way for additional wind power investments in Indonesia.”
The collaboration for the wind farm project is a result of a long-running cooperation between Indonesian and Danish government authorities and private sector companies.

Indonesian Retailers Prepares for ASEAN Market
http://en.tempo.co/read/news/2016/09/27/056807552/Indonesian-Retailers-Prepares-for-ASEAN-Market
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian Retailers Association (Aprindo) Tutum Rahanta, said that the Association is currently aiming for the ASEAN market, specifically countries like Vietnam, the Philippines, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia.
Tutum predicted that hundreds of millions can be gained if Indonesian retailers can tap into international markets. "I think if we can penetrate [the market], it would be like serving 600 million people, and it is three times bigger than [Indonesian] market," Tutum said on Monday, September 26, 2016.
Tutum said that Indonesian retailer has plenty of open chances and opportunities to tap into the ASEAN market, especially in terms of expansion costs, which according to Tutum, would be similar to expanding their business in Indonesia. In addition, Indonesian retailers would have better chances at expanding in ASEAN with the recent establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community.
"It would be much different if [retailers] wanted to expand to Japan, opening one outlet there equals opening 30 outlets [in Indonesia], it doesn't make sense," Tutum said.
Tutum added that despite retailers’ readiness to expand to ASEAN, Aprindo expected the government to show support by facilitating bureaucratic affairs and adapting regulations.
"The government can lobby the foreign country's government to see if there are any obstructing regulations, then they can inform retailers," Tutum said.
Gov't to Build Solar Power Plants in Alor
http://en.tempo.co/read/news/2016/09/27/056807583/Govt-to-Build-Solar-Power-Plants-in-Alor
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Boni Marisin, Head of the East Nusa Tenggara Mining and Energy Agency said that the government is planning to build solar power plants (PLTS) in five locations in the Alor District, West Manggarai, and Rote Ndao.
Boni said that the plan was proposed by the Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Ministry.
"We will begin construction in 2016 using the state budget [APBN]," Boni said.
Boni said that the program is one of the ESDM Ministry's attempt to encourage renewable energy development throughout Indonesia.
The ESDM Ministry's "Indonesia Terang" (Bright Indonesia) program is expected to generate 1,000 Megawatt as part of the 35,000 megawatt national electricity program.
“The five solar power plants will supply sufficient electricity to surrounding villages,” Boni said.
Boni added that the East nusa Tenggara Mining and Energy Agency will continue to encourage private sector to make investments in renewable energy development.
"We have lots of potential, such as sea current, hydropower, wind and geothermal, which can be exploited to develop renewable energy," Boni stated.
Soma Power Indonesia to develop $300m hydropower project in Central Sulawesi
http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/...m-hydropower-project-in-central-sulawesi.html
Local power producer Soma Power Indonesia will soon begin developing a hydroelectric power plant alongside Bongka River in Tojo Una-Una, Central Sulawesi, with a peak capacity of 150 megawatts (MW).
Soma Power Indonesia president director Frangky Yason said he had presented the plan before Central Sulawesi Governor Longki Djanggola and other officials on Sept. 23.
"The investment value will be around US$300 million to $450 million. All requirements have been prepared, so we can act soon," he told The Jakarta Poston Saturday.
The Jakarta-based company said it had secured the principal permits from the governor and the Investment Coordinating Board and a recommendation letter from the Central Sulawesi Forestry Agency.
Meanwhile, Longki said the regional government would support the investment plan as long as the company completed all of the requirements as stipulated by the law.
“The electricity peak load in Central Sulawesi hit 118 MW, while produced power is at 156 MW. Therefore, the Central Sulawesi power grid recorded an electricity surplus of 38 MW,” Longki explained, adding that the region had already built an interconnected electricity grid.
Alfamart targets 400 stores in Philippines next year
http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/...gets-400-stores-in-philippines-next-year.html
Mini market chain Alfamart aims to increase the number of its outlets in the Philippines from the current 185 to 400 next year and add one distribution point to complement the existing one in Greater Manila.
The company expanded into the Philippines in 2014, teaming up with local company SM Investments Corporation.
"We expect to reach break-even point by the middle of 2017, after three and half years of investment," Alfa Group chairman Djoko Santoso said after an AlfaLand press conference at the Shangri-La Hotel Jakarta on Friday.
He said the business climate in the Philippines was good and processing licenses and arranging land acquisition were easy there. After 2017, the company will be more aggressive by doubling the number of its stores every year.
"After five years of investment, we want to have at least 5,000 stores in the Philippines," he said.

Oil and gas holding company to be formed soon
Minister for State Enterprises Rini Soemarno
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Minister for State Enterprises Rini Soemarno said a holding company would soon be formed for oil and gas companies grouping state-owned gs company PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PNG) and oil company PT Pertamina.
"In principle, the concept has been approved, but there are things to be finished," Rini said after a coordinating meeting discussing holding companies for the more than a hundred state companies.
Rini said the forming of the holding companies have been discussed with the stake holders that the plan could be implemented before the end of this year.
"Now we are discussing in greater details. We have talked with boards of directors , the boards of commissioners. We also plan to talk with the trade unions," she said.
She said revision of the government regulation No. 44 of 2005 on methods of state capital participation in state companies is to be wrapped up in ten days to speed up the process of forming holding companies .
"Yes, this is in the process of getting the initials of the relevant ministers," Rini said.
Altogether, Rini said the forming of the holding companies would benefit not only the parent companies but also state companies grouped in the holding companies.
"We see many state companies having problem over being short of capital . The holding company could be expected to seek loan," she said.
There would be six holding companies including for oil and gas, food, logistics, financial, mining and infrastructure business areas.
The first to be formed is an oil and gas holding company as the first to have been approved by the president.
Earlier, it was said that Pertamina would be the holding company and PGN would be a subsidiary along with other subsidiaries of the two companies.
Under the system there would be overlapping in policies such as in the construction of gas pipes and gas distribution.
Earlier, Rini said the benefit from the holding system is greater financial self reliance without depending on state capital participation, opening new jobs and greater food security.
In addition, there would acceleration in the provision of low cost houses, increase government dividend and tax revenue, and more efficient and integrated development of infrastructure.
GIANT are being wake up.

JAKARTA, Indonesia—More prominent Indonesian businessmen filed to repatriate assets under the government’s tax amnesty, promising to bring them back from tax havens such as Singapore, the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands.
Among those filing Tuesday were Franky Oesman Widjaja, chairman and chief executive of palm-oil producer Golden Agri-Resources Ltd.; businessmen-turned-politician Sandiaga Uno; Indonesian Chamber of Commerce Chairman Rosan Roeslani; and Sriwijaya Air owner Chandra Lie.
They continue a strong run for the amnesty, introduced by President Joko Widodo in July and said by analysts to be one of successful programs of its kind. As of Tuesday, repatriated assets stood at 103 trillion rupiah, up from 98.5 trillion rupiah late Monday ($7.87 billion, up from $7.53 billion). Bank Indonesia has forecast that program, set to end March 31, could lead to the repatriation of around 560 trillion rupiah of the estimated 3.157 quadrillion rupiah held outside the country by Indonesians.
The aim is to increase the funds available for investment at home.
“We are supporting the government’s tax-amnesty program as it will be good for the economy and the entire country,” said Mr. Roeslani, adding that more Chamber of Commerce members will sign up in coming days.
Not all their overseas assets will be brought back, he said, as they include fixed assets such as property, investments in offshore companies and long-term securities. Sriwijaya Air’s Mr. Lie said that he will bring back around 99% of the airlines’s overseas assets.
Under the amnesty, the penalties are 2% of repatriated assets and 4% of offshore assets declared but not repatriated. Those are set to increase to 3% and 5% after Sept. 30 and then increase further after Dec. 31.
Finance Minister Sri Mulyani welcomed the latest participants at the main tax office in the capital of Jakarta. She said that in addition to generating tax revenue, the tax amnesty provides the government with better data about the nation’s economic potential, which will lead to better policies.
“We will not use the data gained from the tax amnesty to chase taxpayers,” Ms. Mulyani added.
As of Tuesday, penalties paid by participants in the amnesty—which also covers unreported assets kept in Indonesia—stood at 66 trillion rupiah, up from 62 trillion rupiah late Monday. That is 40% of the way to the government target of 165 trillion rupiah for the program.
The program has helped push tax collection so far this year past 729 trillion rupiah, up 14% from this point a year ago and more than 55% of the target for the year, said Tax Director Ken Dwijugiasteadi.

Under the amnesty, the penalties are 2% of repatriated assets and 4% of offshore assets declared but not repatriated. Those are set to increase to 3% and 5% after Sept. 30 and then increase further after Dec. 31.
Finance Minister Sri Mulyani welcomed the latest participants at the main tax office in the capital of Jakarta. She said that in addition to generating tax revenue, the tax amnesty provides the government with better data about the nation’s economic potential, which will lead to better policies.
“We will not use the data gained from the tax amnesty to chase taxpayers,” Ms. Mulyani added.
As of Tuesday, penalties paid by participants in the amnesty—which also covers unreported assets kept in Indonesia—stood at 66 trillion rupiah, up from 62 trillion rupiah late Monday. That is 40% of the way to the government target of 165 trillion rupiah for the program.
The program has helped push tax collection so far this year past 729 trillion rupiah, up 14% from this point a year ago and more than 55% of the target for the year, said Tax Director Ken Dwijugiasteadi.

The government plans to consolidate all hotel businesses owned by state-owned enterprises (SOEs) under one entity, the Hotel Indonesia Group (HIG).
The move was announced in a ceremony led by SOE Minister Rini M. Soemarno on Wednesday.
In addition to introducing HIG's new portal and logo, the event also saw the signing of a cooperation agreement between HIG and 16 other SOEs to support supply chains, human resources and hotel management.
The first stage of consolidation move is to develop synergies between hotels owned by PT Hotel Indonesia Natour, PT Patrajasa, a subsidiary of state oil and gas company PT Pertamina, and PT Aero Wisata, a subsidiary of national flag carrier PT Garuda Indonesia.
Aiming to become the biggest hotel chain in the country and eyeing an increasing number of tourists from within and outside of the country, HIG currently comprises 26 hotels, including 7 hotels owned by PT Aero Wisata, 12 hotels owned by PT Hotel Indonesia Natour and seven hotels owned by PT Patrajasa. The hotels are in different star categories and spread out across the country.
At the ceremony, it was announced that nine Pesona Hotels owned by state-owned pawnbroker PT Pegadaian and one hotel owned by PT Taman Wisata Candi (TWC) would join HIG. "Hopefully other state-owned hotels will follow suit and join HIG," said Rini, as quoted by the Antara news agency. Rini added the group would highlight Indonesian hospitality in line with international standards, delivered by well-trained human resources. (kes)

WEF Competitiveness Report 2016-2017: Indonesia falls to 41st
Indonesia Investments
28 September 2016
World Economic Forum Global Competitiveness Index
Indonesia fell four places in the World Economic Forum (WEF)'s Global Competitiveness Report 2016-2017. In the latest edition, which was released on Wednesday (28/09), Indonesia ranked 41st. The WEF stated that despite the many reforms to the nation's business environment, the performance of Indonesia in the index remains one of contrasts. The WEF's competitiveness report assesses the competitiveness landscape of 138 economies, providing a unique insight into the drivers of these nation's productivity and prosperity.
Indonesia performs well in terms of market size (10th), macroeconomic environment (30th), innovation (31st), and financial development (42nd). However, in other areas it remains weak - or weakened - such as the health and basic education pillar (100th, declining 20 places from last year's ranking), labor market efficiency, the low labor force participation rate of women (115th), and the technological readiness pillar (91st). The WEF noted that ICT penetration remains low as only one-fifth of the Indonesian population uses the Internet, while there is only one broadband connection for every 100 Indonesians.
Most problematic factors for doing business in Indonesia:
http://www.indonesia-investments.com/news/todays-headlines/wef-competitiveness-report-2016-2017-indonesia-falls-to-41st/item7229
The goverment needs to conduct a more drastic measures to solve the top 2 most problematic factors.
Its not gona be solved overnight but it needs to be solved at a faster pace.
They need to fire and prosecute all corrupt, problematic, lazy-*** officials and replace them with idealistic young people with high integrity.

Not a good news...but a remind us to improve IDN to be better.
And this is the good news,
Dari Jam 4 Shubuh, Begini Penampakan Antrean Warga yang Ingin Ikut Tax Amnesty
FOKUS BERITARamai-ramai Ikut Pengampunan Pajak
Jakarta - Antusiasme masyarakat mengikuti tax amnesty semakin tinggi. Program yang digagas pemerintah dalam rangka mereformasi sistem perpajakan negara ini semakin menunjukkan tajinya. Hal ini terlihat dari antrean yang terjadi di Kantor Pusat Direktorat Jenderal Pajak (DJP) di Jalan Jenderal Gatot Subroto, Jakarta, Kamis (29/9/2016).
Dari pantauan detikFinance di kantor pusat DJP pagi ini, tampak antrean membludak di tenda yang telah disiapkan oleh panitia tax amnesty. Kantor Pusat DJP ini memang menjadi salah satu tempat yang kerap didatangi oleh wajib pajak untuk mendaftar tax amnesty. Pasalnya, kantor pusat DJP ini menjadi salah satu lokasi diperbolehkannya wajib pajak mendaftar tax amnesty meskipun bukan tempat terdaftar wajib pajak bersangkutan.
Antrean di tenda ini menjadi lokasi pertama wajib pajak mendaftar tax amnesty. Nantinya, 20 peserta akan dipanggil sekitar 15 hingga 20 menit sekali untuk mengambil nomor antrean tax amnesty ke lantai dua.
Berdasarkan informasi yang diterima oleh detikFinance dari salah seorang satpam yang bertugas di lokasi tersebut, antrean ini dimulai sejak pukul 04.00 WIB dan telah berlangsung sekitar satu minggu terakhir.
Antrean ini akan mencapai puncaknya setiap jam 2 siang, usai istirahat. Diprediksi antrean ini akan semakin bertambah hingga hari terakhir periode Itax amnesty besok, Jumat (30/9/2016).
"Dari jam 4 subuh sudah ngantre. Sudah seminggu begini. Mungkin besok lebih banyak lagi. Biasanya nanti sekitar jam 2 siang puncaknya," ujar Rachmat, salah seorang satpam yang bertugas.
Antrean ini diisi oleh para wajib pajak yang berasal dari berbagai macam profesi. Ada Ibu rumah tangga hingga pegawai kantoran yang sengaja izin dari kantornya untuk mengurus tax amnesty.
"Iya ini sudah dari jam 5 pagi. Baru mau dipanggil ke dalam," ujar salah seorang peserta tax amnesty yang menunggu dalam antrean di tenda.
Perluasan basis pajak dan kesadaran akan pajak memang menjadi hal utama sasaran tax amnesty. Sebagai target jangka panjang, penerimaan pajak juga diharapkan dapat jauh lebih baik dan transparan.
Guna meningkatkan pelayanan yang maksimal bagi para wajib pajak yang ingin melakukan pendaftaran tax amnesty, Ditjen Pajak membuka layanan pada KPP di wilayah Jakarta, yakni menambah jumlah KPP di beberapa lokasi, diantaranya:
1. KPP di lingkungan Kanwil DJP Jakarta Khusus
2. KPP di lingkungan Kanwil DJP WP Besar
3. KPP Madya di lingkungan Kanwil DJP Jakarta
Selain itu, khusus untuk kantor pusat DJP, juga melakukan penambahan 20counter lagi, sehingga jumlah counter tax amnesty di kantor pusat menjadi 48counter dari yang tadinya berjumlah 28 counter. (drk/drk)

Indonesia`s Nuclear Preparedness Strong: IAEA
Zoom Out Zoom In Normal
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) viewed that Indonesia has a significant commitment to nuclear and radiological emergency preparedness and response (EPR).
“Indonesia demonstrates a significant commitment to nuclear and radiological emergency preparedness and response. It is reflected on the authorities commitment to the nuclear preparedness,” Toshimitsu Homma, IAEA’s chief of the emergency preparedness and response evaluation team (EPREV), said in a press conference in Jakarta on Wednesday, September 28, 2016.
The EPREV team, consisting of five IAEA’s nuclear experts, conducted a 10-day work visit, concluded on September 28, 2016, to identify Indonesian government readiness to build and operate the national nuclear preparedness.
Homma revealed that the Indonesian government has been successful in formulating the framework for nuclear and radiological emergency preparedness and response.
The team also emphasized that the nuclear preparedness system must be established at the national scale and integrated to the emergency response system.
Homma also called for finalization and implementation of the action plan on the nuclear preparedness in Indonesia.
Dedik Eko Sumargo, director of preparedness and technical support at the Nuclear Energy Regulatory Agency (Bapeten), revealed that it was the third time for the IAEA inspecting Indonesia’s nuclear preparedness.
“Earlier in 1999, we had red scores [on the preparedness]. Now they’re getting better, reflecting that Bapeten’s commitment to nuclear preparedness has improved,” he said.
Dedik claimed that the results also reflected Indonesia’s readiness to build nuclear power plants anytime and that Bapeten would be ready to supervise the development based on international standards.
“So, the safety standards will be equal with those in Japan.”

BlackBerry Messenger jadi milik Indonesia
BlackBerry Messenger. ©2014 Merdeka.com
Merdeka.com - Pengumuman mengejutkan terkait layanan BlackBerry disampaikan oleh presiden Jokowi pada Selasa, 27 September 2016 di Kantor Kepresidenan Jakarta, saat memimpin rapat terbatas tentang pengembangan ekonomi digital Tanah Air.
Dalam kesempatan tersebut, Presiden Joko Widodo mengungkapkan bahwa layanan pesan instan dari Blackberry sudah dimiliki 100 persen oleh Indonesia sehingga bisa dijadikan platform asli Indonesia. Hal ini kemudian juga diamini oleh Menkominfo Rudiantara.
"Kita harapkan nanti seluruh hal yang berkaitan dengan 'e-commerce' kita baik retail platform-nya, baik logistik platform-nya bisa nempel ke blackberry messenger khususnya yang nanti betul-betul kita siapkan menjadi platform asli Indonesia," ujar Presiden Joko Widodo.
Lebih lanjut, kabar membanggakan ini juga dilanjutkan oleh pengumuman dari BlackBerry soal perjanjian dalam usaha bersama atau joint venture yang baru terbentuk, PT BB Merah Putih. Ventura ini nantinya memberikan lisensi software dan layanan BlackBerry untuk memproduksi handset bagi pasar Indonesia.
BB Merah Putih akan membuat, mendistribusikan dan mempromosikan perangkat bermerek BlackBerry yang menggunakan software dan aplikasi Android BlackBerry yang aman. Ventura ini juga memiliki akses penuh akan pengalaman BlackBerry, termasuk software BlackBerry untuk Android yang aman dan terpercaya, untuk produksi perangkat baru di Indonesia.
Joint venture ini dipimpin oleh PT Tiphone Mobile Indonesia Tbk, perusahaan telekomunikasi terkemuka dengan jaringan distribusi terluas di Indonesia. PT Tiphone sendiri adalah afiliasi dari PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk, yang notabene merupakan operator terbesar di Indonesia.
BlackBerry dalam siaran pers-nya menambahkan bila Joint venture ini tercipta sebagai bentuk dukungan kepada usaha pemerintah Indonesia untuk mempromosikan pengembangan, memproduksi dan pembuatan barang menggunakan sumber lokal, dan juga meningkatkan jumlah smartphone LTE dengan nilai tambah, yang tersedia dan terjual di Tanah Air.
I hope this is true.
And will be the 1st choose for Indonesian people to use BBI Messenger.

Dirjen Pajak Tetapkan Keadaan Luar Biasa di 4 Tempat
TRIBUNNEWS.COM, JAKARTA - Direktorat Jenderal (Ditjen) Pajak menetapkan keadaan luar biasa pada tempat penerimaan surat pernyataan harta (SPH), di Kantor Pusat Ditjen Pajak dan beberapa Kanwil DJP Wilayah Jakarta.
Direktur Penyuluhan, Pelayanan, dan Hubungan Masyarakat Ditjen Pajak Hestu Yoga Saksama mengatakan, penetapan keadaan luar biasa ini karena adanya peningkatan jumlah antrean wajib pajak yang ingin memanfaatkan pengampunan pajak dengan tarif terendah.
Adapun status keadaan luar biasa ditetapkan di Kantor Pusat Ditjen Pajak, KPP Madya Jakarta di Jalan Ridwan Rais, Kanwil DJP JakartaKhusus di Jalan Kalibata, dan Kanwil DJP Wajib Pajak Besar di Jalan Sudirman.
"Ini sudah sedemikian padat antreannya, karena wajib pajak mengejar tarif 2 persen," ujar Yoga di Kantor Pusat Ditjen Pajak, Jakarta, Kamis (29/9/2019).
Menurut Yoga, untuk status keadaan luar biasa mulai diberlakukan pada hari ini pukul 12.30 WIB (dua shift) hingga Jumat 30 September 2016.
Yoga menjelaskan, prosedur penerimaan SPH dilakukan mengacu pada Peraturan Direktur Jenderal Pajak Nomor PER-14/PJ/2016 tentang Tata Cara Penerimaan Surat Pernyataan Dalam Hal Terjadi Gangguan Pada Jaringan dan/atau Keadaan Luar Biasa Pada Akhir Periode Penyampaian Surat Pernyataan Harta (SPH).
"Wajib pajak yang menyampaikan SPH pada keadaan luar biasa akan menerima tanda terima sementara (TTS), yang selanjutnya dalam waktu paling lama lima hari kerja dilakukan penelitian berkas dan diterbitkan tanda terima SPH," paparnya.
Kemudian, wajib pajak dapat mengambil tanda terima SPH secara lamgsung di tempat penyampaian SPH, atau apabila dikehendaki untuk dikirimkan melalui Pos, dapat menyampaikan kepada petugas penerima atau peneliti SPH pada saat menyampaikan SPH.
"Nanti WP akan menerima tanda terima sementara sebagai bukti, tapi belum merupakan bukti yang sah, dimana proses selanjutnya dilakukan penelitian petugas kami dalam waktu lima hari maka dikeluarkan tanda terima sebenar-benarnya," pungkas Yoga. (*)
